quake breakers

The quake breakers were a pair of chainsaw-like weapons that served as Onua Nuva's Toa tools before he acquired his adaptive armor.^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} Onua used them to channel and focus his elemental power of earth.^CN The quake breakers could easily cut through earth and rock, allowing Onua to tunnel underground.^{1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 6, 8, 11} They could cut through even the hardest rock.⁵ They could also withstand searing hot temperatures.¹² The quake breakers could also be attached to Onua's feet to serve as high-speed all-terrain treads^{1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 8}, allowing him to travel quickly over rough ground^{7, 11} despite the weight of his new Toa Nuva armor¹¹. Onua enjoyed using rolling rocks as moguls, jumping from rock to rock.⁵ The quake breakers functioned independently of Onua's elemental power; even when he lost his power, Onua was able to activate his quake breakers and bore holes into tunnel walls.¹²

Onua acquired the quake breakers when he was transformed by energized protodermis into a Toa Nuva. Onua's former clawed hands were transformed by the energized protodermis into the quake breakers.¹¹ Artakha later replaced Onua's armor and quake breakers with adaptive armor and weaponry.¹³ It is unknown what became of the quake breakers after this; they were apparently left with Artakha.

Notes

• The name has also been written as quake-breakers^{3, 6} and quakebreakers¹¹.
• When put on Onua's feet, the quake breakers have been called high-speed, all-terrain tracks^{1, 2, 4}, all-terrain transport treads³, all-terrain treads^{6, 8}, all-terrain tracks¹⁰, high-speed roller blades⁵, and rollerblades¹¹.
